lifehacker.com — When tapping out an email or pinching and swiping on the iPhone's web browser just doesn't get the job done, and you want to use the full keyboard and screen on your laptop in a Wi-Fi-less place, the best way to put your newly jailbroken iPhone 2.0 to good use is to turn it into a cellphone modem for your laptop.

...unless your carrier locks this ability on your phone :PThere are ways around this, but my smartphone (through Verizon) will not do this 'out of the box', as ICS is disabled.

People have been doing this for years with other phones, this isn't news.Digg needs a dedicated "iPhone spam" option in the bury menu.

@ramsinks.comNot sure what you mean... I was referring to the fact that the encrypted tunnel is between the host computer you're browsing on and the iPhone... but the encrypted traffic stops there. If you make a request for an unencrypted site (like, <a class="user" href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a> ), the request would leave your iPhone and traverse AT&T's network unencrypted.

I call on all hackers from Digg to visit this web site (sounds like a f**king scam) that this man is advertising (spamming) on Digg. I hope you visit his web site very enthusiastically and repeatedly... ;)
